The Best Music Festivals of 2023

Here are the dates, lineups and ticketing info for this year's top music events, which are sure to bring out Hollywood's biggest fans.


Slather on your sunblock and strap on your fanny pack: Festival season is upon us. Boise’s Treefort Music Fest returns March 22-26, kicking off the spring music fest schedule that includes two weekends of Coachella (April 14-16 and 22-23), the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (April 28-May 7) and Stagecoach (April 28 to 30), among many other events.

Frequent festgoers can make their event-hopping experience easier with services such as FestivalPass, which allows members to save up to 30 percent on up to 80,000 festivals, concerts, sporting events and more. memberships are $19 to $99 per month (or $210 to $1,080 per year) and include early access, no ticketing fees, bonus tickets and more perks. Resale sites such as SeatGeek, StubHub and VividSeats also offer tickets to sold-out events.

Following suit from last year’s festivals, mask mandates are no longer in place as vaccination rates rise and infection rates slow down. Many event organizers also don’t require proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 tests for entry, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance for large events and gatherings notes, “You are less likely to be infected with COVID-19 during outdoor activities because virus particles do not build up in the air outdoors as much as they do indoors.” (Check the CDC’s coronavirus levels map and the latest advisories by county here.)

Ahead, see upcoming major music festivals happening in the U.S. Those who can’t attend their favorite events in person can head to Hulu, which is the exclusive streamer for Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. And once you’ve planned your concert itinerary, don’t forget your festival essentials, too.
